In Sandman all religions, and mythologies were welcome. You could see Odin one eye, rubbing elbows with the Lords of Order and Chaos. There were several denizens of Fairyland, that would come in and out of the narrative at their will.

The king and queen of Faerie’s appearances were few, but memorable. They came across as haughty, a touch petty, and very powerful. They appeared of humanoid, but not human. They are longer, and thinner than us. Their faces are elfin. Oberon has green skin and greenish white hair, and rams horns. Titania has light blue skin, and dark blue hair.

She played an Elf queen in the Lord of the Rings, so she certainly has the look for it. It would also be fun to see her playing a devious, self serving, fairy queen, to contrast with Galadrial’s almost angelic nature.

The most prominent fairy to grace the pages of Sandman, was Nuala. She was sent to the Dreaming as an ambassador of Faerie. Or so she thought. She was actually sent as a gift to Morpheus, from the king and queen. Morpheus had no interest in her, but as it is unwise to refuse a fairy gift, he allowed her to stay.

When she first appears it is as a stunning blond. It is soon revealed that that is a glamour. Her true appearance is a very petite, slightly awkward looking brunette.

She has that new adorable pixie cut, and is tiny, and has plenty of experience playing awkward despite being gorgeous.

Nuala’s brother, Cluaracan, also frequently pops up in Sandman. His personality can best be summed up as amusingly drunken, braggart. He too, often wears the glamour of a tall, beautiful, blond. His real appearance is more modest.
